hello - i've got a weird problem with the shower - the RCD trips when the shower is off, and the isolator pullswitch is off. sometimes at the same time as the pullswitch is turned off usually a few minutes later.
its a protek b32 RCD, and looks newer than the rest of the RCDs in the panel. (rented house - not sure of the history)
i've replaced the pullswitch, but the problem seems to be getting worse. its a 10.5kw shower that i put in just over a year ago to replace the existing one that stopped working. it only started tripping a couple of months ago.
i think its strange that it doesn't happen when switching on, or during a shower, but after everything's switched off - does anybody have any ideas what might have gone wrong? and is it dangerous?
cheers, john
